Chapter 115: Huaiyan
Pei Guo captured Li Changjun, and the Wei people really stopped building forts. Chen Qingzhi waved his army north, bypassed Shouyang City, and included all the forts in the north of Shouyang.
Li Xiangou jumped over the wall in a hurry, and while Chen Qingzhi's main force was still patrolling the northern part of Shouyang, he suddenly opened the city gate and led the army south to raid Hefei. Bad luck, it happened that Zhan Seng Zhi, Ming Zhaoshi and other four departments arrived, and Xiahou Kang united the four armies to break Li Xian with one drum. Li Xian's troops were defeated and fled back to Shouyang in panic.
Xiahou took advantage of the situation to march and capture the important town of Lizhi. At this point, Shouyang has really become a lonely city, lonely and hanging in Huainan.
Xiahou Kang and Chen Qingyi were in the south and in the north, and surrounded Shouyang City. The problem was once again placed in front of the Liang army--- the towering Shouyang, indestructible, Li Xianshang had more than 30,000 troops, and it was enough to defend the city. If you want to encircle it for a long time, Shouyang City has accumulated over the years, and the materials are extremely abundant, and the grain and grass alone are enough to eat for two years. . .
Xiahou Kang and Chen Qingzhi tried to attack the city several times, but they were still ineffective, so they had to postpone the siege and think of another way. Under the city of Shouyang, the battle situation slowed down a little.
。。。。。。
On June 18, the weather was exceptionally good, with a clear breeze and bright sunshine, blue sky and white clouds.
Chen Qingzhi was so happy that he led a group of generals to climb the Bagong Mountain in the north of Shouyang, which was not only nostalgic for viewing the scenery, but also climbed to get a glimpse of Shouyang City.
The grass and trees on the mountain are forested, and occasionally the clouds in the mountains are half-covered, and the hazy ones seem to be wandering and moving. Pei Guo's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "On Bagong Mountain, the grass and trees are all soldiers, it turns out that there is really such a thing." ”
Chen Qingzhi nodded, poked his finger to the southeast, and said in an impassioned tone: "Back then, Fu Jian's million-strong army went south and threw a whip to cut off the flow. It was under this Shouyang City, on the shore of the river, that Xie Xianwu (the famous general Xie Xuanzhen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty) only led 80,000 Beifu soldiers, destroyed the Northern Army in a war, and survived Huaxia Zhengshuo. So far, I think about it, and I am fascinated. ”
Everyone sighed, Pei Guo thought of Xie Xuan's demeanor, dizzy.
Looking further to the west and north, the surging Huai water makes a big bend here and rushes east. The mountains and rivers are magnificent and the scenery is picturesque.
Pei Guo said: "Although this Huaishui is not as wide as the Yellow River, the urgency of flowing water is still on it. ”
A staff member snorted and said: "That's Xiaokuan from the north, and I haven't seen Dajiang yet." The river is not only vast and boundless, but its water flow is turbulent, and it is better than Huaishui. ”
Pei Guo and Yang Zhong talked together, and they both thought: If you have time, you should go to the river to take a look.
Chen Qingzhi walked over and said with a smile: "Huaishui has been unruly since ancient times. Around this Bagong Mountain, the Huaishui grabs the mouth of the Kip Stone and turns back to flow backwards, and the water potential is naturally more urgent. ”
Pei Guo stared into the distance, and saw that the Huaishui was originally from the south to the north, and when he arrived here, it seemed that he had split the east and west kip stones, and the road was changed to the east.
The turbulent water hits the Kip stone, the sound is like thunder, and it is magnificent. Pei Guo couldn't help but sigh: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the manpower is poor. If such a great flood floods, who will be able to stop it? ”
The previous staff member said "um", "Isn't it?" Every year, when the water is in full bloom, the Huaishui River will wash down the embankment and flood the people's land and houses, which will cause great harm. ”
When Pei Guo heard this, he sighed. Don't beware of Chen Qingzhi suddenly jumping three feet high, shouting and screaming, all of which lost the prestige of the chief officer.
"There you have, there you have it!" Chen Qingzhi couldn't stop laughing: "Ahaha, Shouyang can be broken!" ”
Everyone stayed on the spot. Chen Qingzhi walked over, grabbed Pei Guo's shoulders and laughed: "It's a shame that I went up to this Bagong Mountain today, and I don't know that Xiaokuan has never seen a big river, and I sigh here that the Huai water is turbulent, so I thought of this plan out of thin air." Hahaha, isn't this God helping me? Filial piety to you, haha, it is really my blessing! ”
Pei Guoshang was stunned, Chen Qingzhi had already pointed to the Shouyang City in the lower place, and talked endlessly about his plan---Since the Shouyang City is strong and cannot be taken by force, why not build a weir on the Huai River and store the water of the Huai River to flood Shouyang?" At present, the surroundings of Shouyang are all fixed, and the weir will not be harassed by the Wei people when it is built, and it can be built as soon as possible. Calculating the time, Huaishui is the most abundant water in June and July in a year, which can be said to be the right time.
Everyone was impressed, and Pei Guo was even more dumbfounded.
。。。。。。
Chen Qingzhi was impatient, so he immediately went down the mountain, rode a fast horse, and went to Xiahou to report in person.
Xiahou was at a loss for himself, wandering in the tent, overjoyed when he heard the words.
Without further ado, the arrangement will go on now, and Chen Qingzhi will mobilize the people everywhere and build the Huaiyan together. Xiahou Kang and Zhan Seng Zhi and other four armies dug ditches, dredged clear streams, and diverted Huai water into the river.
Before and after, Huaiyan was completed on the 15th, which can be called speed.
In July, Huaishui is prosperous, and Huaiyan is full. Xiahou gave an order, opened the weir and released the water, and the surging flood flowed down the river and poured into Shouyang City. In the city, countless people and horses drowned, and the grain and grass were soaked and no longer used.
As a result of this catastrophe, the hearts of the people in the city were in turmoil. Li Xian was in a panic all day long, and repeatedly sent warriors to sneak out of the city, swimming across the Huaishui River to Luoyang for help, but in exchange for only disappointment.
By November, there were still no reinforcements, but the food and grass had run out. Li Xian was desperate and surrendered the city.
The envoy and the central protector Xiahou Kang and the stabbing Shi Zhan of Qianzhou took the lead, Liyang Taishou Ming Zhaoshi, Nanqiao Taishou Yuhong, Jin Xi Taishou Zhang Cheng and Chen Qingzhi followed, Pei Guo and other generals followed, and the southern soldiers and horses finally drove into Shouyang City, which had not been set foot in for 20 years.
Chen Qingzhi personally planted the banner of "Liang" at the head of Shouyang City, and he was full of spirit and ecstatic. Pei Guo silently walked to the corner of the city, looked back at the direction of Feifei, and said: "Uncle, Shouyang has returned to Liang!" ”
。。。。。。
In the Battle of Shouyang, the Liang army descended a total of 52 cities before and after, captured the land of Huainan, and won 75,000 men and women.
When the battle report reached Jiankang, Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, couldn't help but be overjoyed and ordered a three-day banquet to celebrate. It was moved to Yuzhou to Shouyang, and the place of Hefei was changed to South Yuzhou. Xiahou Kang was the envoy and the eighteenth class of Yunlu generals, all of whom supervised the military of Yuzhou, Nanyu, Huo, Yi and Ding, and led the history of Yuzhou and Nanyuzhou, and sat in Shouyang and controlled Huainan.
Chen Qingzhi was promoted to the twelfth class of Wuwei General because of his merits, transferred to the East Palace Zhige, and was given the title of Marquis of Guanzhong. Once knighted, he could be happy with his crooked mouth.
The rest of the generals are all rewarded. Pei Guosheng is the fourth class of Chongguan general, and Yang Zhong is also the fourth class, the general of the Eagle Cavalry.
In December of the seventh year of Liang Pingping (the second year of Xiaochang of Wei State), the imperial court had a decree, with General Wuwei and Chen Qingzhi of the East Palace Zhige, on behalf of Yuzhou and Southern Yuzhou, Xiahou Kang, and Li Xian, Li Changjun and other thief chieftains, and offered prisoners to Jiankang to recover the prestige of Shouyang. Because of the news that the general Pei Guo and the general Yang Zhong of the eagle cavalry came north to be loyal and righteous, they were specially allowed to go together.
All the generals in Yuzhou were envious of Pei Guo and Yang Zhong's good luck, but Pei Guo knew that this was Chen Qingzhi's personal relationship, and he specially invited Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, to order himself to go to Jiankang with Yang Zhong, so that he could show his face in front of the princes of the imperial court.
Chen Qingzhi did this for two reasons. On the one hand, before Pei Di died, he once held Chen Qing's hand and asked him to take care of his nephew Pei Guo. The two, Chen Qingzhi and Pei Guo have always cooperated tacitly, and after a long time, their friendship is deep.
Chen Qingzhi is to Pei Guo, just as Pei is to Chen Qingzhi, half teacher and half friend.
Shouyang has fallen, but Pei Guo's heart is empty, in fact, he has no heart to go to Jiangdong, but since it is Chen Qing's kindness, he has to agree.
